Chapter Forty-Nine: The Legend That Has Just Begun
In the entire 09-10 season, Yiyang only made a total of 15 three-pointers, and the number of hits was only a pitiful 5. Duke striker Kyle. In one game today, Zingler hit 4. It can be seen from this that Yiyang is indeed a guard who does not like to shoot three-pointers and is not good at shooting three-pointers.
But in fact, except for everyone on the Bulldogs, no one knows that this seemingly cold No. 1 guard will spend a lot of sweat on the basketball court every night to make the three-point shot no longer his weakness.
On the training court, Yiyang's three-point shooting percentage has come a long way. His current training content is no longer about fixed-point jumpers, but about more advanced events such as step-back three-pointers and interference-based three-pointers.
The Bulldogs shooting coach Burris watched Yiyang go from a guy who shot like Rondo to a shooting percentage that began to look like a good one, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart went without saying. It's just that the outside world doesn't know about this.
So when Yiyang chose to kill the game with a step-back three-point jumper, Burris, who was watching the game at home, suddenly let go of his hands and let Coke fall to the ground. The bald coach stood up stunned, and the basketball flying on the TV screen looked like his entire career.
Lance who was shaken to the ground. Thomas raised his arms in despair, and his heart fluttered as Duke's three carriages were easily shaken by Yiyang. And that basketball crossed a beautiful arc like a rainbow and fell into the net!
"It's over! It's over! "Reggie. Miller's shouting made his face flush, and this wonderful game ended in the most exciting way possible. It's no wonder that even the NBA has to make way for March Madness today, and in the face of such a wonderful game, the NBA regular season simply can't stir up the enthusiasm of fans.
Wen Xue in the stands slowly took her hands away, the mother didn't dare to look at the score on the big screen at the scene, she only saw Yiyang kneeling on one knee, clenching her fist with her right hand, and slamming the hardwood floor.
"Did you win?" Wen Xue couldn't judge the outcome at all through the actions of the players on the field.
"Lost?" When she looked around again, some of the Bulldogs fans even shed tears.
Eventually, she mustered up the courage and lifted her head. 69 to 70, with the Bulldogs scoring behind. The game is over and the Bulldogs are one point ahead! Wen Xue suddenly screamed, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
"Also! His three-pointer killed the game! Oh my God, it's a priceless three-pointer! Everyone knows that he didn't play well outside the three-point line. But today, he used his three-point shot to win for the team! Won the championship! Let's congratulate the Butler University Bulldogs for their interpretation of the Cinderella story to the end! ”
On the commentary stage, Reggie. Miller's voice made Chris aside. Webb was almost deaf. On the basketball court, the players of the bulldog team, who were stunned for a second, all hugged Yiyang and hugged Yiyang's whole person!
“YI! YI! YI! YI! ......" In the stands, more than 20,000 fans were all shouting the name of one person. This group of guys may not know that their voices also seem to be shouting Yiyang's number, 1.
"Lore! Damn it! This kid has completed a three-point kill! My God! See what we've done!? "As for young Stevens, he has now lost his mind. The guy even forgot to shake hands with Coach K, but at the moment, no one blames Stevens for not having grace. Anyone who had just gone through the scene would have reacted in the same way as Stevens.
At this time, the more than 10,000 fans who watched the live broadcast of the game on the big screen inside the Zinkel Arena, home of the Bulldogs, six miles away from the Lucas Arena, also made the basketball court, which was not held, completely boil.
The big dark horse loved by the whole United States successfully overturned the traditional giants, and a Hollywood-like perfect ending has become a reality!
Butler successfully recreated the miracle story of Milan High School in 1954, successfully followed the path of glory at Western Texas University in 1966, and successfully contributed a stunner similar to NCC's 1983 ACC Conference Championship. They have become the team that can represent the strongest team in the United States! Their story begins today and will become another legend in the history of basketball!
"Hey, let's throw him up!" It wasn't until Hayward shouted that the Bulldogs players found a new way to celebrate.
Without Yiyang's consent, the players immediately let Yiyang lie flat on their hands, and then everyone worked together to throw the hero who decided the outcome of the game into the air.
Yiyang in the air felt as if everything was still, this cold boy was laughing happily, this kind of smile, since Yiyang was eight years old, Wen Xue saw it on his son's face for the first time.
He earned respect, earned love, won championships, and won the opportunity to leave Wood and change his life! After so many years of hard work with his mother, Yiyang finally won. So, the boy finally laughed.
It wasn't until the on-site staff began to set up a makeshift podium on the site that the celebration of the Bulldogs players finally stopped.
Yiyang was put down by his teammates, and as soon as he landed, Stevens, whose eyes were a little moist, opened his arms and hugged Yiyang tightly.
"You did it! Brat! Stevens's voice sounded sonorous.
"Thank you, Mr. Stevens." Yiyang also hugged this father-like guy tightly, and this time, Yiyang's tone was extraordinarily gentle.
After that, the staff brought 15 pit bulls wearing pit bulls mini jerseys to the field, and these cute pets immediately caught the attention of the audience.
The pit bulls gathered around the podium, and all the people of the pit bulls team, under the "support" of these little guys, got on the podium!
At the top of the pitch, colorful paper tapes erupted. One by one, the fans stretched out their hands towards the center of the stadium, as if to worship their God.
And the Bulldogs players on the stage have all eyes on the NCAA Championship championship trophy.
The players of the Bulldogs team have put on championship baseball caps one by one, and this hat is definitely a high collection value for Yiyang!
At this time, the NCAA official walked up to Stevens with the trophy representing the national championship.
"Congratulations, Coach. Your boys, it's amazing! With that, the official handed out the trophy.
Stevens froze, he couldn't believe it had all come to fruition. Standing on the podium yourself, you are about to lift the trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor! His team has really become a champion!
"Mr. Stevens?" When the NCAA officer saw that Stevens was unresponsive, they called him again.
Stevens slowly accepted the trophy from the official, and the weight of the trophy was much heavier than he had imagined.
Stevens looked at the players around him, and then the 33-year-old young marshal jerked the trophy above his head!
Around Stevens, the players' hands were on the way to the trophy. After that, Stevens passed the trophies to his players one by one, and after Yiyang received the trophy, the cheers on the scene officially reached its peak.
After that, the NCAA Final Four MOP trophy undoubtedly fell into the hands of Yiyang, who was decided. In the semifinals, Yiyang averaged 17.2 points, 10.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game, making him the first Chinese player to win this honor over his teammate Hayward.
When the usually cool Asian kid laughed and lifted the MOP trophy above his head, the young girls in the audience instantly lost their resistance. It turns out that this cool boy laughs so brightly.
Colorful streamers have been sprinkled on that group of energetic young people, a team whose coach looks like a player, will forever be recorded in the history of the NCAA.
Yiyang climbed up the stairs that the court staff had prepared, picked up scissors, and cut the net on the basket.
Mougins raised his camera and took a picture of Yiyang picking up the net to show off to his teammates. It's an honor to qualify for the Nets.
The Bulldogs' game is legendary enough, and their season has been amazing enough. And Mougins knows that the story of the Bulldogs No. 1 has just begun.
This is the coronation moment for young people, and this is also the first step on the road to glory for Yiyang.
Champions, in the future, there are many more......
